Entertainers-sing-discordant-tunes About Jonathan and Buhari

AHEAD of the presidential election next month, there is a palpable excitement running through every sector of the country, including the entertainment industry, which had until now been relatively apolitical. As some entertainers have made it clear, the stake of the industry in the socio-economic fortunes of the country has risen exponentially and has thus conferred on it as much right as any to be part of the political process.

For the highest office in the land, the pendulum seems to be swinging the way of only two candidates for the Aso Villa: President Goodluck Jonathan and General Muhammadu Buhari (rtd). Just as the whole citizenry seems to be torn between the two, the entertainment enclave of Nigeria also has its discordant tunes.From movie stars to music stars to the comedians, there isn’t any consensus of opinion as to who has been endorsed by the entertainers.

Wenger masterclass produces shock win over Manchester City.Goals from Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud earn Arsenal rare victory against top-four side.Arsene Wenger silenced his critics with the perfect gameplan to finally end Arsenal's shocking record away from home against one of the top four with a deserved 2-0 win over Manchester City.Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud were on target as Arsenal won.

Manchester City were far from their best throughout the game, but that was probably down to Arsenal getting their tactics spot on and their win was celebrated just as much in west London than in north London as it gives Chelsea a huge advantage in the title race with the top two set to meet in a fortnight at Stamford Bridge.

Wenger has been heavily criticised for setting up his side to be too attacking in the big games, but he got his tactics spot-on as Arsenal frustrated City and caught them with two sucker punches from Santi Cazorla's penalty and Olivier Giroud's second half header.
